A uniquely powerful novel of a society in decay. On a planet whose very nature is a mystery a massive decrepit city is pulled along a massive railway track, laying the line down before it as it progresses into the wilderness. The society within toils under an oppressive regime, its structures always on the point of collapse, the lives of its individuals lived in misery. No one knows where they are going, why they are going or what they will find when they get there. The ending of the novel provides one of the most profound twists in SF. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

The citry is winched along tracks through a devasted land full of hostile tribes. Rails must be freshly laid ahead of the city and carefully removewd in its wake. Rivers and mountains present nearly insurmountable challenges to the ingenuity of the city's engineers. But if the city does not move, it will fall farther and farther behind the 'optimum' into the crushing gravitational field that has transformed life on Earfth. The only alternative to progress is death. Better than anyone, Howard Mann knows how tenuous is the city's continued existence. But the world - he is about to discover - is infinitely stranger than the strange world he believes he knows so well. 322p.
